Located in the heart of the hill country and along the banks of the Frio River is an outstanding 13 acre family campground – Parkview Riverside RV Resort. With views of "Old Baldy" mountain, Parkview offers a beautiful, tranquil, and scenic place to camp away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Parkview is located across the Frio River from Garner State Park and has very good access to the cool, clear, and deep water of the Frio River. The river is lined with huge cypress trees and the water is a beautiful shade of jade green. In this country setting it is commonplace to see deer, turkey, and other wildlife wandering around the park.
